it's x86-only and we have no business playing with it in asm/mmu.h; make the latter have struct uml_arch_mm_context arch; instead of struct uml_ldt ldt; and let arch/<subarch>/um/asm/mm_context.h decide what'll be in there. While we are at it, kill host_ldt.h - it's not needed in part of places that include it (we want asm/ldt.h in those) and it can be trivially expanded into the single remaining one.

2011-10-24x86: Fix S4 regressionTakashi Iwai
Commit 4b239f458 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4 regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4 resume. It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20. But, like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen. This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory assignment in the older way. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Cc: Rafael J.

2011-10-14x86, mrst: use a temporary variable for SFI irqMika Westerberg
SFI tables reside in RAM and should not be modified once they are written. Current code went to set pentry->irq to zero which causes subsequent reads to fail with invalid SFI table checksum. This will break kexec as the second kernel fails to validate SFI tables. To fix this we use temporary variable for irq number.

In summary, this DMI quirk uses the _CRS info by default for the ASUS M2V-MX SE by turning on `pci=use_crs` and is similar to the quirk added by commit 2491762cfb47 ("x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info on ASRock ALiveSATA2-GLAN") whose commit message should be read for further information.

2011-09-21x86/rtc: Don't recursively acquire rtc_lockMatt Fleming
A deadlock was introduced on x86 in commit ef68c8f87ed1 ("x86: Serialize EFI time accesses on rtc_lock") because efi_get_time() and friends can be called with rtc_lock already held by read_persistent_time(), e.g.: timekeeping_init() read_persistent_clock() <-- acquire rtc_lock efi_get_time() phys_efi_get_time() <-- acquire rtc_lock <DEADLOCK> To fix this let's push the locking down into the get_wallclock() and set_wallclock() implementations. Only the clock implementations that access the x86 RTC directly need to acquire rtc_lock, so it makes sense to push the locking down into the rtc, vrtc and efi code. The virtualization implementations don't require rtc_lock to be held because they provide their own serialization.

2011-09-15asm alternatives: remove incorrect alignment notesLinus Torvalds
On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16 bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much. However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit 59e97e4d6fbc ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative"). So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good idea. On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and rwsem). That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section, causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction replacement. So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious bug to begin with.

2011-09-13xen/e820: if there is no dom0_mem=, don't tweak extra_pages.David Vrabel
The patch "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM" (d312ae878b6aed3912e1acaaf5d0b2a9d08a4f11) breaks machines that do not use 'dom0_mem=' argument with: reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff (XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: ... The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the 'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed). The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages' using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation: return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES); and use it: extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages(); if (extra_limit >= max_pfn) extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn; else extra_pages = 0; which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432) - 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller), and then we add that value to the E820 making it: Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable) which is clearly wrong. It should look as so: Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000027fbda000 (usable) Naturally this problem does not present itself if dom0_mem=max:X is used.

2011-09-01xen/smp: Warn user why they keel over - nosmp or noapic and what to use instead.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
We have hit a couple of customer bugs where they would like to use those parameters to run an UP kernel - but both of those options turn of important sources of interrupt information so we end up not being able to boot. The correct way is to pass in 'dom0_max_vcpus=1' on the Xen hypervisor line and the kernel will patch itself to be a UP kernel.

2011-09-01xen: x86_32: do not enable iterrupts when returning from exception in ↵Igor Mammedov
interrupt context If vmalloc page_fault happens inside of interrupt handler with interrupts disabled then on exit path from exception handler when there is no pending interrupts, the following code (arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S:112): cmpw $0x0001, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(%eax) sete XEN_vcpu_info_mask(%eax) will enable interrupts even if they has been previously disabled according to eflags from the bounce frame (arch/x86/xen/xen-asm_32.S:99) testb $X86_EFLAGS_IF>>8, 8+1+ESP_OFFSET(%esp) setz XEN_vcpu_info_mask(%eax) Solution is in setting XEN_vcpu_info_mask only when it should be set according to cmpw $0x0001, XEN_vcpu_info_pending(%eax) but not clearing it if there isn't any pending events.

2011-09-01xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAMDavid Vrabel
Use the domain's maximum reservation to limit the amount of extra RAM for the memory balloon. This reduces the size of the pages tables and the amount of reserved low memory (which defaults to about 1/32 of the total RAM). On a system with 8 GiB of RAM with the domain limited to 1 GiB the kernel reports: Before: Memory: 627792k/4472000k available After: Memory: 549740k/11132224k available A increase of about 76 MiB (~1.5% of the unused 7 GiB). The reserved low memory is also reduced from 253 MiB to 32 MiB. The total additional usable RAM is 329 MiB. For dom0, this requires at patch to Xen ('x86: use 'dom0_mem' to limit the number of pages for dom0') (c/s 23790) CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

2011-08-30KVM: Fix instruction size issue in pvclock scalingDuncan Sands
Commit de2d1a524e94 ("KVM: Fix register corruption in pvclock_scale_delta") introduced a mul instruction that may have only a memory operand; the assembler therefore cannot select the correct size: pvclock.s:229: Error: no instruction mnemonic suffix given and no register operands; can't size instruction In this example the assembler is: #APP mul -48(%rbp) ; shrd $32, %rdx, %rax #NO_APP A simple solution is to use mulq.

2011-08-26sfi: table irq 0xFF means 'no interrupt'Kirill A. Shutemov
According to the SFI specification irq number 0xFF means device has no interrupt or interrupt attached via GPIO. Currently, we don't handle this special case and set irq field in *_board_info structs to 255. It leads to confusion in some drivers. Accelerometer driver tries to register interrupt 255, fails and prints "Cannot get IRQ" to dmesg. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

entry_32.S contained a hardcoded alternative instruction entry, and the format changed in commit 59e97e4d6fbc ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative"). Replace the hardcoded entry with the altinstruction_entry macro. This fixes the 32-bit boot with CONFIG_X86_INVD_BUG=y.
